2025 FMR and Section 8 Rents in Massachusetts
Section 8 is a federal program that guarantees monthly rent payments to landlords. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) publishes Fair Market Rents, which are 40th percentile averages of local rents, to determine their standard payment amount.
Use our Section 8 rents table to find the best market for Section 8 investment. See Section 8 rents in each city and zip code.
Typically, the government guarantees 70% of the rent payment, and the tenant pays the remaining 30%. Section 8 tenants typically stay in their units 6-7x longer than regular tenants.
